IMHO, how the ISU vs OSU game played out was much more dramatic than the Lehigh or Norfolk St games. If I remember correctly, both Lehigh and Norfolk St were in the game the entire time. ISU was down 24-7 in the 3rd quarter to the 2nd ranked team in the country, came back to beat them 37-31 in 2 OT's on national television, AND dashed their hopes of playing for the national title. In all probability, it would have been OSU and Alabama playing for the title. Tell me now what the best upset was.

I think having two 15s win in the NCAA tournament will actually help our chances of winning the category, because people won't necessarily remember how rare a 15 upset is. Both of those wins are extremely impressive - remember those are on neutral courts whereas our win was at home.

A statistical argument could, perhaps, be made that either of those upsets are more unlikely than our upset, but I still voted for the good guys!

I also think the fact two 15-2 upsets happened helps ISU-OSU. If the Duke & Missouri upsets were grouped together somehow, it's a different situation.
